My first shiny pokemon in Diamond was one obtained through a trade, it was a Zubat, and I believe it was caught in Mt. Coronet. It is now a Crobat, and was a wonderful part of my team, but now it's in the box since I'm done with the story line and I've been doing trades like crazy.

Also, Pikachu colored Pichu, has since came to my retail game, and the PCP on my Pearl is from Gamestop.

My first shiny was the Lake of Rage red Gyarados, and that one was my only one in G/S/C.

I have more shinies, but they do not deserve to be named here because they are indeed hacked.

my first shiny was a black Surskit on sapphire. Once I found out how hard it is to even encounter a normal surskit on sapphire, it became my prized possession. I've also caught a shiny Rattatta, Spinda, and Shuppet. (Yeah, I played a lot of sapphire)

I have the shiny pichu and the special spike eared one from the event.
A shiny rattatta I caught in my 1st 10 mins of SS in Burned tower, I feel that was my games apologie for the morons at the gamestop I reserved my game at not giving me my figure because they gave them out to everyone not just the reservers...
I caught a shiny wurmple in a contest, she evolved into the butterfly which has very little difference to my dislikeing.
As everyone should I have the storyline shiny for Silver and Gold.
And last but not least my ruined roserade I caught in the special garden on my Diamond game as a roselia... I say ruined because my neaphew used action replay rare candies on her to make her a 100...

Oddly enough, every shiny I own is female EXCEPT the Pichu, which I wont evolve due to its rareity as is.

My first wild shiny was a Spheal in my Sapphire xD
I wish I had known how rare they were at the time, then I wouldn't have started a new game x_X

But worse than that, when I started my Soul Silver, I saw a shiny Rattata before I was able to catch
any pokemon. I saw it inbetween the hometown and Cherrygrove. It was probably like...the fourth of
fifth pokemon I saw in the entire game? I had no way to catch it so it was pretty upsetting lol. I took a
picture of it with my phone, I will see if I can add it to my signature sometime xD

In all my years of playing pokemon since Blue.. I never caught a wild, non-event, shiny until just last week in HG. 500+ hours per game.. Gold, Crystal, Ruby (2x), Emerald, FireRed (2x), Pearl, Platinum.. now HG (130hrs).. and just now.. My very sickly looking Stantler. Caught it while EV training just south of Ecrukeak City (rte 37).

What is even more irritating, is that my 7 year old son caught a shiny Wirmple in his first pokemon game ever (Saphire) a few years ago.. and my aunt the same catching an Unown. They have had a combined 3 years of Pokemon experience.. sometimes life just isn't fair.

I refuse to get those cheated cloned pokemon. Haven't you people watched the first movie? or Star Wars? Clones are evil! =)

ive played every handheld pkmn game out there and hav never come across a shiny pkmn (aside from red gyrados), am i doin somthn wrong?! or does the game just hate me?

There is also a good chance you may have missed a shiny. A lot of them are VERY subtle color differences.. and if you turn away for a second after their entrance (I do this on occasion) you may miss the sparkles and overlook the color. It has been even worse in this generation with the gender differences, since that feeling you get when something is off gets dismissed in the process of grinding.

That and if you have a slight color-blind issue.. good luck with that. Look in the psydex with the difference in colors of the Unowns.. that dark blue in the wrong light looks awfully black to me.
